Hi, I'm Clay, and I'm proud to represent the Mercedes-Benz brand—a name that stands for luxury, performance, and innovation. I’ve always had a deep passion for cars, which led me to pursue a degree in Finance to better understand the automotive world from both a business and customer perspective. I'm factory-certified and continuously trained on the latest Mercedes-Benz innovations and models, allowing me to give clients clear, up-to-date guidance throughout their vehicle search. I take a low-pressure, informative approach to every interaction—my goal is to help you find a vehicle that’s truly the right fit. I enjoy walking customers through the full model lineup, and I take the time to explain key differences between trim levels, packages, and engine options so you can make a confident, well-informed decision. When I’m not at the dealership, you’ll find me washing my cars or just enjoying a good weekend drive. I also love spending time outdoors with my wife and greyhound.

“Old school” dealership managed by customer-focused, caring staff and management who truly go above and beyond to be fair and accommodating. Clay Crawford is just a very nice guy who couldn’t have been caring staff and management who truly go above and beyond to be fair and accommodating. Clay Crawford is just a very nice guy who couldn’t have been more kind, helpful and explanatory, imparting no sales pressure whatsoever. He’s a great asset to this dealership. And Paul Kim, the manager, went out of his way to introduce himself and to offer any help we needed. Afterward, Paul compassionately reached out to offer his best wishes and any needed assistance due to a personal health issue I had separate from and in addition to any car sale. These two gentlemen are truly extraordinary. Star Motor Cars is an iconic Houston dealership and I see why. 5 star service well-deserved ! More
